Farewell To the Papasans

[kybearfuzz]

No, the Papasans are not neighbors, friends, or the like. They are a pair of chairs I bought when I first moved into my house some 11 years ago.

I bought the Papasans in 2001. I always liked the style of the chairs and a friend in college had one in her dorm room. While I was happy to have them, I soon realized that they were not the most sturdy of seatings. My fat butt often caused creaks and cracks. Also, the chairs were a bit awkward and took up a lot of space.

Over the years, they basically became cat seats, or places to catch my coat when I came in from work. One guy I dated saw them and said something like, "Wow, I've stepped into the 70's." As part of my spring cleaning this year, I decided it was time for them to go.

Tomorrow is trash day, so I put them out on the curb a bit ago. Before I even got both cushions out, three boys about 10-years-old came up and asked if they could have them. I told them that they could take them as long as they asked their parents if was okay first. Funny, I thought, my style appeals to kids.

In five minutes, both chairs were gone. Hopefully, they've got to good homes where they'll get used better than in mine.

I admit that I like them still, but they were taking up valuable real estate in my tiny house. If they built them more for those of us who were heavier, I think I'd have enjoyed them more.
